Two identical resistors connected in series have an equivalent resistance of 4 ohms. The same two resistors, when connected in parallel, have an equivalent resistance of:

Respuesta :

Answer:

1 ohm

Explanation:

since there are two identical resistors, one resistor will be

R = [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] =2ohm [ proven as in series [tex]R_{e} = 2 + 2 = 4ohm[/tex] ]

to calculate the equivalent resistance when in parallel:

[tex]\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{R_{1} } + \frac{1}{R_{2}}[/tex]

so,

[tex]\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]R_{e} = 1ohm[/tex]
